AABPA Budget Panel: Evidence-Based Policy and the Budget Process
2024-12-12 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual – Zoom
cross-post with the American Association for Budget and Program Analysis
The past 20 years have seen real growth in the body of social programs rigorously shown to produce important gains in educational/economic mobility and other life outcomes. How can the government identify and fund those programs – and build new ones, through rigorous testing – to make real headway on the nation’s social problems? We will discuss how evidence-based policy can be incorporated into the budget process with Jon Baron, the President of the Coalition for Evidence Based Policy.

This event will explore how forward-thinking governments around the world are leveraging technology, data, and collaboration to tackle complex public challenges. At a time when nearly all well-known entrepreneurs are from the private sector, this book also serves as a powerful reminder of the vital role of public entrepreneurship.
Dr. Chen will share key insights from the book, followed by a dynamic panel discussion with thought leaders in public sector innovation, an interactive audience Q&A, and an exciting book signing.
Whether you work in public service, policy, technology, academia or are simply passionate about better governance and the future of government, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
